CUFF-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 768,742, dated August 30, 1904.

Application filed December 16, 1903. Serial No. 185,370. (No model.)

To t 71/71/0772, it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. FULTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Albany, in the county of Albany and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cuff Holders; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to cuff-holders; and it consists in the novel construction and combination of the parts hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of the cuif-holder. Fig. 2 is a rear view. Fig. 3 is an end view, all the said views showing the cuff-holder drawn to an enlarged scale for clearness.

A is the back plate of the cuff-holder, and 7) represents two opposed spring-arms which project from the sides of the plate A and have outwardly-curved end portions 5, which form a clip for engaging with the cuff. The arms have tongues 0 partially punched out of them and bent substantially parallel with each other so as to increase the surface which engages with the cuff and give the clip a better hold upon the same.

B is a spring-plate which projects from one end of the back plate A and which is bent substantially parallel with it and arranged in the space between the arms 6 of the clip. The plate B is provided with two curved and rigid barbs (Z, which project rearwardly from the sides of its end portion, which lies beyond the other end of the back plate from its point of connection with the back plate.

D is a spring-barb which is punched out of the metal of the spring-plate B. The barb D projects from the same end of the back plate A as the spring-plate B; but it is bent over in the opposite direction from the spring-plate and arranged upon the other side of the back plate from the said spring-plate. The point of the spring-barb D projects between the points of the rigid barbs (Z, and the three barbs engage with the sleeve and hold the cuff in position.

The dotted lines Sin Fig. 3 show a portion of a coat-sleeve, and the dotted lines C show a portion of a cuif. The holder may be permanently attached to the inside of the coat sleeve in any convenient position, and one edge of the cuff may be slipped into and out of engagement with the spring-arms 6 as often as desired.

What I claim is 1. In a cuff-holder, the combination, with a back plate and means for attaching it to a sleeve; of opposed spring-arms projecting from the sides of the said back plate and provided with tongues partially punched out of them, and curved end portions for engaging with a end.

2. In a cuff-holder, the combination, with a back plate provided with spring-arms projecting from its sides and forming a clip for engaging with a cuff; of a springplate, and a spring-barb, both the said barb and plate being connected to the same end of the said back plate and arranged on opposite sides of it, and barbs projecting from the free end portion of the spring-plate toward the spring-barbj 3. In a cufl-holder, the combination, with a back plate provided with means for engaging with a cufi"; of a spring-plate, and a springbarb punched from the metal of the said spring-plate, said springplate and springbarb being connected to the same end of the said back plate and arranged on opposite sides of it, and barbs projecting from the free end portion of the said spring-plate toward the said spring-barb.

In testimony whereof I affiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM H. FULTON.
